Description

Evan and his dog share a life of small joys—tending a prize-winning garden, exploring the world, and doing everything together. When a devastating loss breaks their routine, Evan’s garden turns wild and thorny, mirroring the grief he can’t yet name. As unexpected beauty begins to push through the roughest ground, Evan is drawn back toward community, where old and new friendships offer warmth, laughter, and a path forward. With Brian Lies’s luminous, emotionally resonant artwork and gentle, accessible storytelling, this Caldecott Honor–winning picture book explores love, mourning, and renewal through the healing power of nature and connection.
